A pirate walks into a bar with a big wooden ship’s wheel coming out of his pants. The bartender goes “did you know you have a big wheel coming out of your pants?” The pirate replies “ARRRR! And it’s driving me nuts!”

So a magician works on a cruise ship as the an entertainer and is accompanied by his pet parrot. He always tries to surprise the passengers, but the parrot always gives away his tricks (*squawk* It’s behind his back! *squawk* In his sleeve, in his sleeve! Etc.) One day the magician gets tired of the parrot and during his act pulls out a pistol and tries to shoot the parrot, but misses and hits a tank full of explosive fuel. The entire ship explodes, leaving no survivors except for the magician and his parrot. They silently float around at sea for hours until the parrot says “Alright, I give up. Where’s the ship?”

Two truckers were surprised one night when they saw that a new seafood place had been built at one of their usual truck stops. Feeling adventurous, they decided to give it a try. When they walked in, they noticed this wasn’t the classiest of institutions, not by a long shot What else would you expect from a seafood joint at a truck stop? The restaurant, however, did have a live tank labeled “lobsters” in the lobby. Within the tank was a single creature. Suspicious, the two truckers, who were oddly knowledgeable in sea-life dichotomy, examined the specimen in the tank. “That’s one weird looking lobster,” said the first trucker. The second trucker, having seen through the restaurant’s scam, simply turned to his comrade and said, “No, that fish cray.”
